Unification of the Oda

The Unification of the Oda was a war fought between daimyo Nobuhide Oda and his relative Teruaki Oda. The Oda clan reunited when Nobuhide and Muneyori Takayama crushed Teruaki in the Battle of Nagoya in 1545.

War
As if it were not enough to contend with the rivals that surrounded the Oda, their home province of Owari was long gripped by internal strife. An army of rebels under Teruaki Oda marched from the southeast; they had to be defeated if the clan was to be united. Nobuhide Oda, the daimyo of the Oda clan, joined his general Muneyori Takayama's army of 7200 troops and met Teruaki's 3150 rebels along the shoreline, where the Oda army crushed the rebels. Teruaki Oda was killed in battle, and the rebellion was crushed, with 780 Oda dying.
